Mission: Failed

Attack him, Not me

Jisung watched the scene in terror. A moment later, his eyes reflected a happy surprise, and he struggled desperately to get away from Hyunjin. In the end, he made one move, and his waist was deadlocked into Hyunjin's embrace. The man's grip was extremely firm as if he'd wanted to snap him in two. Jisung's face paled. He was too frightened to make any more movements, so he could only give Chan an imploring gaze.

Save me!!!

Chan saw Jisung's pale frightened face and tearful red eyes. His chest swelled with anger and tender affection. The anger was directed at Hyunjin and the tenderness for Jisung.

Although he couldn't wait to straight-up kill Hyunjin at the moment, his remaining reason still held him back. Fighting Hyunjin now would undoubtedly be more loss than gain. Others would ridicule him, and it would scare the boy, making him fear and distance himself.

Chan took a deep breath, and slowly pressed down the killing intent in his eyes. He said in a thick voice, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

Hyunjin saw Chan coming, and instead of letting go, he audaciously locked the youth in his embrace even more. Raising his lips, he gave a provocative smile. His tone was flat and mocking as he said, "What am I doing? Didn't you see extremely clearly just now?"

Chan's face went rigid with nearly uncontrollable anger. He looked fixedly at Hyunjin and affirmed each word, "Let-him-go."

Hyunjin saw how furious Chan looked, and raised his eyebrows unconcerned, giving a light laugh. His fingers gently brushed over Jisung's neck, and his hands moved flirtatiously. This made Jisung's face flush with embarrassment and shame. Only after that did Hyunjin look at Chan and say slowly, "Jisung and I are in love, and doing things that lovers do. How is that going too far? And why should I let go?"

Chan's entire expression changed and his voice was cold as he said, "Lovers? Your Majesty, perhaps you have lost your mind."

Hyunjin stared at Chan with his dark eyes. He faintly parted his lips, and smiled, saying, "The one Jisung has always loved is me. He only agreed to marry you out of anger. He has never liked you. Even if you take on the identity of his fiance in name, I am indisputably his love. "

He paused, as a fanatic expression adorned his eyes. Bowing his head down, he gently bit Jisung's ear. Feeling the youth in his arms quiver, he lifted his eyes and said in a meaningful tone, "Plus, we have always interacted like this. We have done much, much more intimate things compared to what you just saw. It'd be better if you got used to it soo-"

Chan finally made his move as soon as the sentence sounded out.

Archduke Chan, who had never revealed joy or anger on his face, and who rarely personally made a move himself could no longer cover up his fury at this moment. That ever-elegant and profound face was now dyed in a never before seen darkness. He struck as quickly as lightning.

Hyunjin had long expected this. He immediately let go of Jisung and moved the boy aside to meet Chan's attack.

Jisung was pushed away and sat down on the ground in a daze. Looking at the two men who had already fought up a storm in the blink of an eye, he shivered.

The neatly dressed brown-haired man swung at the solemn man with long black hair before him. Hyunjin raised his hand to fend him off. His feet sank deeply into the earth, retreating backwards continuously. Then, his eyes flashed, as he held his ground, clenched his fist and slammed back.

The shockwaves from their random blows were strong enough to uproot a large tree. The impact created waves over ten meters high in the lake. They had both torn away their false acts completely and wanted nothing more than to kill the other.
